Measuring wet, CO₂-rich biogas reliably in a DN300 pipe: for Fangel Bioenergy in Denmark, KROHNE’s OPTISONIC 7300 Biogas delivers pressure-loss-free ultrasonic flow measurement, with adapted titanium transducers, integrated pressure/temperature compensation, and methane content calculation, even under heavy condensate formation.

To meet Ireland’s growing gas utilisation levels, Armstrong Industrial: Gas (a division of Armstrong Fluid Technology) has supplied another two of its 3 MW boiler houses at a main gas interconnector site.

As the world faces an escalating water crisis, the industry can no longer afford fragmented infrastructure, Duncan Leathley, area sales director for water utility at Grundfos UK&I, explores why an integrated approach that marries high-efficiency hardware with AI-driven intelligence, is the blueprint for building a resilient global water future.

The boom in artificial intelligence and cloud services is driving the construction of new data centers worldwide. At the same time, the need for high-performance cooling systems – and thus for clean water – is increasing. Efficient water filtration is becoming a crucial factor for operational reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability.

ENGIE Hidroelétricas do Douro, on behalf of Movhera Hidroelétricas do Norte S.A., has awarded an ANDRITZ-led consortium a contract to rehabilitate and modernize three generating units at the Picote I hydropower plant in Portugal.

Underestimating the level of variation in thread friction and surface conditions can undermine the effectiveness of the applied torque and resulting preload and, in extreme cases, lead to joint failure. The solution is to always choose fasteners manufactured from premium stainless steel under high-quality production processes that have less surface roughness and variation in frictional behavior.

Électricité de France (EDF) has awarded international technology group ANDRITZ a contract to supply a new pump turbine and associated equipment for the Vouglans/Saut-Mortier pumped storage project in the French Jura region. The project will increase energy storage capacity, enhance grid stability, and support the integration of renewable energy sources.

Sustainable drainage specialist Sudsplanter Ltd has supported a rainwater management project led by Scottish Water and Dundee City Council, through the Water Resilient Dundee partnership. The partnership aims to manage Dundee’s rainwater more naturally, reduce local flood and pollution risk, build climate resilience and create greener spaces, while engaging with communities.

Enlaza, the transmission company of Grupo Energía Bogotá, has awarded international technology group ANDRITZ an order to supply five synchronous condensers to Colombia. The equipment – the first of its kind in Colombia – will strengthen grid stability and support the integration of renewable energy sources in the Colombian Caribbean region.

Société en Commandite Hydroélectrique Manicouagan (SCHM) has awarded ANDRITZ a contract to modernize turbine-generator units 6 and 7 at the McCormick hydropower plant in Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada.
